I ended up implementing an AuthenticatingFilter which, after a
successful login, sends back an access token.
And an AuthorizingFilter which looks for the presence of a valid access
token in a certain http header.
Sorry for the low effort question.

Hello,
I want to use an http header instead of a cookie for session management.
I have a web-service which is accessed from a web client (web
application) and from a desktop client (desktop application).
I want the desktop client to receive a session header which will be
used for subsequent requests as a session id (Similar to OAuth
authorization tokens).
The desktop client and the web client will send all requests with this
session header instead of a cookie.
How can I make shiro look for a certain header and not for a cookie
when determining whether an http request is authenticated or not?
Thank you,
Gabriel
